Katherine Kersten's Korner

Today brings another kolumn from Kersten. I think I've discovered her two favorite subjects: ridiculous far-right rhetoric and war heroes. Today is an example of the latter.

Wingnuttia level: 0 (Safe for sentient beings)

Yet another war hero, this time from the Red Army. A bit ironic a right-wing kolumnist waxing poetic about a commie soldier, no? But the Soviets were on the right side (or more accurately, they were not on the wrong side for a few years, after Operation Barabossa and before the start of the Cold War), so it's all good.

I like stories of war bravery as much as the next person, but this is getting a bit tedious. Not to mention the fact that today is the traditional celebration of somebody else. Given what many conservatives think of King, however, I guess it's not a surprise that Kersten chose a different topic for today.
